Process Monitoring CEP 400

The process monitoring CEP 400 has been specifically designed for the TOX-Joing process. The CEP 400 helps you to monitor and document all quality parameters related to the TOX-Clinching process.

Function

Force sensors measure the pressforce during the joining process. A position sensor monitors the cylinder travel to achieve the quality control dimension “X”. Once the position sensor signals that the “X” dimension has been reached (bottom end position), then the measured force values are compared to the nominal values. The TOX joint is OK when the measured force value falls within the preset force range. The resulting bottom thickness “X” is proportional to the shear and pull strengths of the joint, as long as the joining parameters and expected tool life are observed and maintained.
